Game One: Star Wars - The Rise of the Sky Walkers

Kuzma out. OK. So we have an excuse if we lose by 8 or 9. Kawhi only played like 5 minutes of the preseason to rest his precious MVP championship body. We already know PG13 isn't that guy, so unless the rest of the Paper Clips are going to turn into Danny Greens and Kyle Lowrys, I expect a victory.

*I swear I thought the game was last night when I made this post :snapout: Kenny feel free to edit this as you see fit! :waaaaa:

Checking in for another season. Glad it is finally here. Eventhough Kuzma is out, Paul George is out as well. I have us winning this game and my final prediction on wins is 55 after having time to break everything down. 55 seems about right assuming health is on our side with LeBron and AD. This is the 1st time really since the 2013 season we are rolling out a team that is good, that was the last time Kobe was healthy for almost all 82 games.

I can't really predict what seed 55 wins will bring because I am not sure what the other teams will do and the West is deep. I am thinking 55 will get us a top 4 seed at worse though. Clippers, Blazers, Nuggets, Jazz, and Rockets will all be good. It was announced today that Klay Thompson is out for the year for the Warriors. With Steph and Draymond it still wouldn't surprise me if they won 50 games. Those other teams I mentioned could win 54 to 57 games as well. It is going to be a fight for the #1 seed.

Really good boxing match so far - the Clippers are very opportunistic and get waaaay too many rebounds for a smallish team but that's the new NBA. If Kuzma and Rondo were in healthy and PG was in, we'd still see the same. I think PG takes two Clips outta the rotation which means he may kill their best chemistry. When AD isn't on the floor we need another slasher/killer because LeBron is not his Miami nor his Cleveland self anymore. We'll see who steps up. Despite the ridiculous difference in banners, the rivalry is real now.

Their shots are ALL falling. 40 point quarter against a Laker team that is supposed to be about defense. Not feeling it right now . . our 4 5 6 + bench better step up or this might be an ugly second half.

We better get this going shortly, down 70-59 in the 3rd. I do not like how the defense looks!

I know it's only 1 game, 1 of 82 but they are beating us without Paul George pretty easily actually. This is bothersome. Unless we go on a huge run this game is over.

We look slow, unprepared, a step too late. They're getting everything they want. Sigh . . too many missed shots, too many lost rebounds and loose balls, not enough speed and athleticism to hang with teams this deep.

We can't stop them, they could have Porky Pig shoot 3's at this point and it would go in :oops: , Harrell is playing like Karl Malone.

Patrick Beverly looks like Carl Lewis on steroids out there, this was a pathetic performance by us.

We have to have a 3pt game. We can't play LeBron ball and damn-sure can't play this dinosaur half-court mess. Beverly and Lou have more passion than half our team and they beat us to every loose ball. This may be a long frustrating season but we will beat the average teams and have good nights against some of the better teams. LeBron and AD combined for 11 points in the second half, which is completely unacceptable. We'll learn from this sloppy debut and come harder in the weeks ahead.
